I THE able, and was the cool and hum comfort- of bank morning business was progressing at a pace. The line at the Teller's window was as long as any line, and he was commencing to increase his activity. His hands moved faster, and he figured repeating amounts aloud. A harassed expression flickered across his taciturn face, as if he were momentarily hard pressed. At the other side of his window was someone who missed none of this, whose slightly narrowed gaze betrayed attention, and whose eyes frequently slid over, and rested on an armed guard, pacing up and down the length of the bank.

Then, his eyes sullen, he looked squarely at the busy Teller, who seemed unconscious of his scrutiny. He shifted his weight, the woman standing next to him sighed, and he pulled himself erect. Timing. Timing. Everything was timing.

The light from a window focused on some money in the Teller's hands. The watcher looked out of the window beyond the executives' offices, and saw a thin, sallow man, hat over his eyes, lift his gaze from a book in his hands and peer into the bank. Could he see him waiting there listening, rigid, one in all the hundreds of those who were, presumably, attending to business? Now. His right hand strained toward his pocket. Someone in the waiting line dropped a book, and as she stooped to pick it up, the action brought her eyes around in the direction of that straining hand.

A pretty girl smiled at him. He felt a faint disgust. What were they to him today? Furniture, decora- tion, nothing more! The hand hesitated, relaxed, and patiently he settled down to waiting. If Miriam looked at him, now, she would be proud. "Listen, pal," she said often, in her slangy way, "When you don't know what to do -don't.

That's the answer-don't. You will win in the long run. You will have everything you want, it you sit tight when the going is tough. Don't force the cards." Of course, she had never been really hungry, so hungry that all the world was swallowed up in hunger. Hunger reminded him of the key word, the word he would use when the time came.

The shining hands of the great clock on the wall moved, he noted. They moved slowly, but eventually they twitched. A pretty girl smiled at him. He felt a faint disgust. What were they to him today? Furniture, decoration, nothing more.

Some day, perhaps, when he'd had his way he would smile at one of these lush plums. Miriam called the good ones lusb plums, but not for him today, Bah! The Teller's hands were magic hands; reaching, clutching, sorting, piling and passing out bills. Mostly bills, some change he noted, that shone, and sometimes rolled out toward the edge of the ledge. His fingers twitched. "Not directly in the line, but of it, the watcher sensed the moment coming closer, and his hands opened and shut, his jaw quivered very slightly, and was still.

His shoulders were thrown back, and no one would have taken him for what he was- weak, really, and tired, and despairing. The woman next to him moved forward, and he moved too, jostling her by mistake, but her mind was on the bank pass book in her hand. Her turn at the Teller's window was coming. "Now. Now," he thought.

1 He heard the man in front say, "Thank you" and saw him turn away from the window. The Teller relaxed a fraction, settling his money a a a and papers into place. Outside the bank the thin man peered in again, at the orderly customers waiting in their quiet rows. Then, he vanished around the corner. The Teller straightened one more pile.

Now. He leaned forward, one chubby hand thrust through the bars, and grasped at the Teller's neat piles, as he leaned from his mother's arms. "Lettuce," he crowed, "Lettuce." Aunt Miriam, at the Teller's window, pushed him down, gently. "He's a lively little thief," laughed someone in the crowd.
